North Korea Demands U.S. Compensation
North Korea demanded Thursday that the United States compensate it for last week's seizure of a ship carrying Scud missiles to Yemen, criticizing the act as "reckless state-sponsored terrorism." North Korea also claimed that a Spanish warship fired at its ship and American sailors looted it, according to the North's foreign news outlet, KCNA, which was monitored by South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
"Hey, Rodrigo! Lookit this! Kimchi!"
"Wow, Diego! Let's loot that!"
"Yeah! And here's some pictures of Dear Leader!"
"Oooh! Gimme them, too!"
"The U.S. imperialists should apologize for their serious piracy committed against the ship and compensate for all the mental and material damage done to the ship and its crew," said North Korea's official newspaper Rodong Sinmun, carried by KCNA in a separate dispatch.
"Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute." That's American for, "Piss off!"
